Chapter 38 • Pt. 5, 2

Start from the beginning
                                        

"Yah!" she exclaimed half offended and half amused, she was self-aware of her eyes working really bad in dark places but he didn't have to expose her like that.

He chuckled and tried to open the door of the guest house but it was locked.

He frowned and tried again but nothing.

Was it locked?

"What's going on?"

"I think it's locked," Jungkook muttered and rang the house bell, feeling a bit self-conscious since it was 3 in the morning and he didn't want to disturb other people.

"Locked? Weird "

Lisa was right, the double front door of the guest house was always open, this led to the front garden and the wooden steps to the large two-story cabin with stairs to the right that led directly to the rooms on the second floor. Why would they lock up at night without warning?

Jungkook rang the bell a few more times and saw the lights go on on the second floor, and then heard the sound of footsteps dragged on the small rocks that adorned the path to the entrances to the house, probably to avoid slipping in the rainy season.

"We're closed," it was the direct grumpy statement both got as the door opened.

"What? We 're staying here," Lisa spoke before Jungkook but this time her charms didn't provoke anything in the old lady who had treated her so well the days before and during breakfast, that right morning.

Wrapped in a white terry robe and a nightcap, the lady crossed her arms. "This is a respectable house, you can't just come and go at this time of the night"

What?

What the hell?

"I can't let you in, comeback tomorrow, go! Go!"

"We paid for a room!" Jungkook raised his voice, surprising Lisa. With huge eyes she saw him towering the lady, fuming. "Are you going to give me back my money? You didn't let me spend a night here, ma'am "

"No, no refunds," she screeched back at him in that high-pitched, annoying lady voice.

"But-!"

"Come back tomorrow," and she slammed the door in their faces, leaving them speechless.

Was that even legal? It was clearly a robbery and Lisa couldn't believe it. In her hotels the client was always right, as in any commercial place, and what the client wanted was always done. Respectable place? Making the customer happy made a respectable place! Throwing them out and questioning their life and the time they came back was unacceptable, who the hell did she think she was? Hotel staff couldn't even talk about what was happening in the hotel because everything happened there. Idols, politicians, famous actors, very influential people did things in hotels with very varied people and left the most juicy tea that would never be talked about.

What the hell just happened?

That lady had been lovely before, now she was scolding them and not letting them in? She was kidnapping their stuff right there inside her house!

Arms crossed, Lisa sighed thinking that it wasn't so bad anyway, it was going to dawn in two hours due to summer time and she and Jungkook could take their things and go to a better place.

It was a shame, however. She had adored the house because it was the kind of house she would want to have one day, with the light blue walls and the eternal smell of the sea. Their room had been perfect too, it had a huge window to the inner garden with a view of the sky and at night it was easy to see the stars.

But Jungkook wasn't taking it so well, his shoulders were tense and he had clenched his hands into fists, his tongue was poking the inside of his cheek and his jaw was so locked all the muscles were tight and showing, the bone so sharp it could cut the tension it grew between them.
